Thank you for putting this into words for so many of us. With age I finally stopped being othered. I am very happy you were able to see the light much earlier. I hope the same for many others.
Hello my friend, this is breathtakingly insightful. The concept of the jogakbo life the idea that our complexity isn't a failure to fit in, but a deliberate, beautiful assembly of scraps, is one of the most affirming things I’ve read in a long time.
I often feel that struggle as a writer and researcher, that moment where someone’s eyes glaze over because they can't fit me into a neat box. But you’ve turned that "othering" on its head. Thank you for giving a name and a history to that feeling of being useful but "other." Your work doesn't just explain things, it anchors them.
Needed this today 🤍
I hope you feel seen and accompanied.

Dear Ink & Heritage,
your piece is, as usual, brilliant 🌺🌺🌺
The Jogakbo concept ( I want to go deeper inyo it ) reminds me of japanese Kintsugi.
What do you think?
J.
Yes! Kintsugi is not imperfect. It's perfect the way it is. You use the pieces and make it perfect!!! Thank you so much!
I love the sayings. They're going in my notebook.
